Nothing Like Talking to a Wall...

[user38449]

With the board showing {Q-Diamonds}

and a whole heap of chips already in the middle, we walked over to table two, where chip leader Eric Levesque was contemplating calling a 100,000 bet made by his heads-up opponent, Clay Maguire.

“I think you got tens,” said Levesque, thinking aloud.

“I think you’ll have a customer. You think I should go there?” he asked.

No answer from Maguire.

“You have a couple of seconds to convince me. Do you want to convince me?”

Still no answer from Maguire.

“No? I just don’t believe you. I just don’t,” added Levesque. “If anybody wants to call time, please.”

“Do you want the pressure?” asked another player at the table.

A few moments later, Maguire finally piped up:
“Time.”

“Who called time?” Levesque demanded to know. “He called time?” he asked, pointing directly at Maguire.

The dealer nodded.

A couple more minutes of painstaking deliberation passed before Levesque threw his cards face-up into the muck: {Q-?}

“Do you have anything to say?” Levesque asked Maguire.

“No, other than I don’t know why you’re talking to me when I’ve got headphones on,” Maguire replied. “I couldn’t hear a word you said.”

After the hand, Maguire stacked up 260,000 in chips while Levesque dropped slightly below the 400,000 mark for the first time today.

[user38449]

Team PokerStars Brazil representative Maria 'Maridu' Mayrinck has just been eliminated from the main event by Darren Keyes.

The hand was fairly standard: Keyes opened with a raise holding pocket jacks, Mayrinck reraised with ace-queen, Keyes four-bet, putting Mayrinck all in and a call was made.

A ten-high board ensued and Mayrinck, the longest lasting woman in the tournament, is your 24th place finisher.

donpeters

Edgar Cruz opened the action with a raise to 12,500. Jose De La Guardia reraised to 32,500. Action folded over to the overnight chip leader Eric Levesque. Levesque put in another raise to 70,000. Cruz ducked out of the way and then De La Guardia went into the tank for several minutes. After a long while, Levesque called for the clock. About halfway into the remaining minute he had to think about his decision, De La Guardia moved all in for around 150,000 total. Levesque snapped, tabling {A-Spades}

. De La Guardia held {K-Spades}

.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}
